    A lot of people on here seem to think Mosley will beat Pacquiao. At most he has a punchers chance. As soon as a fight is made and the promotion starts, we are made to believe Mosley (at this stage of his career) is more dangerous than he actually is. Then people start believing it.

    The same with Margarito, at first people wrote him off, because of course he didn't deserve the fight. Then, as the promotional drive gathered pace, a lot more people than i expected were favouring Margarito, i know Margarito isn't Mosley - but my point is fans get caught up in the promotion. Then look what happened.

    This fight wouldn't be happening if they thought Mosley was the Mosley of old.

    I like Mosley a lot. But i hope he retires soon. I hate to say it, but i can see him becoming a stepping stone for fighters making a name for themselves. I'm worried about what Pacquiao will do to his face. If he hits Pac cleanly, anything can happen. But i think Pacquiao will do what he does best. Mosley will try to set Pac up by pawing his jab, then tryna follow through, but Pac won't be there, and if he does hit Pac, we know Pac will come back with 3-4-5 punch combo's. Mosley will gas out, then just get desperate and try to load up his punches, by that time he would have got hit 4 times, then Pac will move. I predict that Nazim will throw in the towel around the 8th round.

    I wanted to know what the readers at ESB predict will happen?
    Even if you don't like either fighter, answer honestly.

    Mosley is shot to ****. You're right though; they'll make it look like Mosley is better than ever. I will not be brainwashed, he's shot today and will be shot the day of the fight. The ref will step in to save Mosley from the worst beating he's ever taken. It'll probably go 8-10 rounds.

    I dont expect him to win. But I do expect him to show in top condition and make a very entertaining fight.

    Mosley will look stupid. He'll take so many unanswered shots. Look at the damage floyd did after the second round when he was backing up and boxing carefully. Pac is gonna swarm all over mosley -- he'll swear he was beaten up by 10 men when it's done.

    I reckon Mosley might be dangerous for the first 2 or 3 rounds but theres no way he can keep up with the pace Pac Man is gonna set, he'll gas and probably get stopped in the mid to late rounds imo

    Mosley has never really taken a beating with the exception of the first Forrest fight and he wasn't that bad. As much as I'd love to see Pac knocked into outer space, I think Mosley is in for damage like he's never seen. He will keep getting up if he's knocked down but the ref will end up stepping in. I doubt he even gets knocked down, he's gonna get banged up like Oscar did but x3

    I can't picture anything but a Pacquiao stoppage. Mosley is just far too old.

    The reality is that it is going to be a tougher fight than a lot of people including Pacquiao's camp think it is going to be.
    Mosley in his curent form may not be in his prime but he is still very good and better than Cotto, Clottey and Margrito. Pacquiao dose get hit and Mosley is one of the best punchers at 147-154.
    If I was a betting man I would consider taking Mosley.

    Mosley won't be able to keep up with Pacquiao, my gut feeling is to go with pac by late TKO or decision.

    Mosley won't be any different than the one who faced Floyd so I'm looking forward to seeing how Pacquiao compares.

    There's only 2 things that Pac will get credit from me for, dishing out the worst beating Shane has ever taken or being the first man to stop him, and I think the serious beating is more likely, I'll be impressed if Manny stops him.

    Nobody is predicting Mosley to win. I imagine most will be cheering for him though
